Model-actor Sana Khan, who has been evicted from Bigg Boss Halla Bol series, feels Karishma Tanna and Upen Patel's much-talked about romance on the show is not real.
Sana said the duo's sudden closeness post Upen's re-entry on the show after getting evicted last month, is hard to digest for the housemates and the audience.
"It does not look authentic to me at all. If the audience does not feel it is real, how can it be? Everything has a logic but this (Karishma-Upen closeness) was so sudden. Whatever it is, I don't feel it is right," Sana told PTI.
The Jai Ho actress, who was a Challenger on the show, however, feels that the romance rumours will help Karishma to remain ahead in the game.
Sana also thinks that presence of Rahul Mahajan in the Bigg Boss house will help his estranged wife Dimpy's chances of staying in the game for longer as the audience might get interested in the story of their relationship.
"I am sure that the next contestant to be eliminated will be Mahek Chahal, even if Karishma and Dimpy are nominated with her. Karishma will benefit from the romantic angle with Upen and Dimpy will stay because Rahul is there, so they have their own story," she said.
Bigg Boss Halla Bol sees a group of five contestants from the previous Bigg Boss seasons, termed Challengers, who are competing against the top five contestants, called Champions, from Bigg Boss 8. The Champions include Gautam Gulati, Pritam Singh, Karishma Tanna, Dimpy and Ali Quli Mirza.
Sana said she was left confused by the show's concept as the Challengers were not given equal powers as compared to the Champions.
"I am honestly confused with the concept of Halla Bol series. We (Challengers) were not given the power to nominate the Champions. We had to do all the work in the house. So, how could we challenge them? All of us had our targets when we entered the house but we could not do anything. It was not a fair play between the Champions and the Challengers," she said.
Sana said she is rooting for Pritam to win the show and doesn't feel that any Challenger stands a chance of winning the trophy. She, however, feels that Rahul Mahajan is the strongest Challenger on the show. The show is now left with five Champions and three Challengers (Sambhavna, Mahek and Rahul).
